On Saturday 18^th September we are planning to hold a full day of green events.

• We have identified four or five unloved plots of land in the C CRA area and we’d like the help of anyone who c an sp a re ti me, expertise or muscle to tidy them up and replant – making our streets greener!  These areas will need a bit of TLC after our ‘going green’ day so even if you can’t come along on September 18^th we’d love you to volunteer to do a bit of watering.

• You are invit ed to bring along any unwanted but usable items (except electrical goods) for a repeat of last year’s very popular ‘freecycle’ swap.

• We’re hoping to encourage gardeners with surplus plants and seedlings to come along as part of the swapping arrangements.

• Refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon – so even if you don’t want to get rid of anything or don’t know anything about gardens – pop down to St. Richard’s hall for a chat and a cuppa.

• Representatives from Charlton Toy Library are coming along so there’ll be something for your young children.

• For the young at heart of any age, there will be a music workshop making and playing instruments created out of ‘freecycle’ junk.  Eat your heart out Stomp!  Children will need to be accompanied and there will be a performance – so come along and join in the fun.

We need your help!

We will need people who can:

• dig

• plant

• water

• make tea and coffee

• shake a shaker or drum on a box.

It would be helpful to have some idea of numbers of people who could help with clearing and planting so if you can help with this – or with any of the other planned activities please contact Linda Pound on 020 8858 7377 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
